Hauzen LLP

Hauzen LLP is a Hong Kong law firm with a practice in crypto assets and financial regulation. Its listed services are VASP licensing, regulatory opinions, and support in crypto disputes including asset recovery after cybercrime.

Licensing and opinions

VASP licensing relates to the regime for virtual asset service providers in Hong Kong, where exchanges and similar platforms need authorisation to operate. The firm also prepares regulatory opinions, which businesses use when they need a written view on whether a product or activity falls under licensing rules before launching it or approaching a bank.

Disputes and recovery

The company states that it supports crypto disputes and cybercrime asset recovery, meaning attempts to trace and return digital assets lost through fraud or hacking. This combines contentious work with the regulatory side of the practice.

Who it suits

Hong Kong is the only market named. Exchanges, wallet and payment businesses and investors that deal with virtual assets there can consider the firm for both licensing and incident response. Fees are not published and must be confirmed with Hauzen LLP.
